Summer is always a good time to find the work of new writers, and this season, we've been looking forward to meeting (and hosting) Julia Holmes, author of Meeks, newly released by one of our favorite independent literary houses, Small Beer Press. "A highly imaginative debut finds a stark Darwinian logic in a rigidly Darwinian society. In Holmes's unnamed dystopia, everyone is ascribed a place strictly enforced by the police, with the young Bachelors bearing the responsibility of finding a wife, an accomplishment that will secure them a place in society ... Holmes has fashioned a terrifying and utterly convincing world in which the perfect human being is one stripped of all illusions." – Publishers Weekly.
